ISLAND NOTES.

HoNoKAA, Hawaii, June 29th.
Two native boys were drowned while
bathing in pond in Honokaio, Hama
kua, last Sunday.
A sneak thief broke into a house in
Honokaa, last Saturday night, about 9
O'Clock, while the inmates were at the
Lyceum, and stole a gold watch and
several articles of jewelry. AS usual,
all the policemen were at home in their
own houses. The night air in Honokaa
is too much for the police.
Everything here is suffering for rain.
Cane on the lower land is perfectly
brown, and water is getting short at the
plantations.

A LONG FORGOTTEN SONNET.
Discovery of a Patriotic Ode TO Gen
George Washington,

Discovery of a Patriotic Ode TO Gen.
George Washington,
From Washington Letter to the Nep York Her
aid.
Mrs Cleveland has q great admiration for the
national monument in this city to George Wash
ington, and says its simplicity especially, COM
mends it to her. as she prefers simplicity al
ways whether in matters of dress or public
structures, and so takes great delight in the CON
slant view she has from the southern windows
of the White House of this, the taliest structure
ON the globe, and is very glad that its form was
not changed rs once proposed to a triumphal
arch or any other style of monument. She was
therefore much pleased when recently shown a
sonnet addressed by DR.. Aiken, an Englishman,
in 1891, to His Excellency George Washington
President of the United States, =" published in tue
Georgetown Weekly Ledger in 1891, whose open
ing lines give so accurate description of the
monument erected to Washington nearly cen
tury later as to prove its form to have been the
most appropriate that could have been chosen,
for, rs is well known, its roof is pyramid fifty
five feet high, whose apex is an aluminium point,
which is 555 feet above the level of the base be-
low. The sonnet reads:
Point of that pyramid whose solid base
Rests firmly founded ON nations trust,
Which, while the gorgeous palace sinks in
Shall stand sublime and fill its ample space.
Elected chief of freemen; greater far
by birth,
Named by thy country's voice for long-tricd
worth;
Her crown i'll peace, as once her shield in war.
Deign, Washington, to hear British Tyre
That, ardent. greets thee with appausive lays
And to the patriot hero homage pays.
Oh. would thee, Muse immortal strains inspire,
That, high beyond all Greek and Roman fame,
Might soar to times unborn thy purer, nobler
name.

have in my possession rug which is nearly
200 years old; thought it in Malatia, on the
Euphrates where a Mohametan family had
owned it for at least 300 years. The rug is diff
ferent from most of those of modern make be-
ing palmer in pattern and somewhat crude in
finish. Its design is interesting a specimen
of that realism in art which precedes all con-
ventlonal design. 1t represents the facade of a
mosque of Medieval Moorish style, with two
minarets on either side and number of turrets
rising toward the centre, where the highest is
surmounted by a crescent and star Only the
four primary colors are used and while age has
dimmed and made them richer, there is none
OF that gorgeous effect produced later by the
proougal blending of SenSuouS hues, as seen in
all Eastern carpets of to-day. 1t is about feet
long and about 519 feet in width. The date 1872
OF the Hegira, corresponds to the year EOS of
the Christian era, making it exactly ISL years
old. The rug also has history. Tradition says
that for centuries it sacred to the use of the

The Shiloh Controversy.

There has perhaps been more controversy
about the battle of Shiloh than any other Of
the war between the States, and it has not
been confined to those who opposed each
other in that contest There were grave
mistakes made on both sides, and the Fed
erals and Confederates are yet trying to
locate the responsibility for them. 1t is be-
leved by many on the Confederate side that
the Confederates would have won great
victory if it had not been for the mistakes of
Gen. Beauregard.l OF course Gen. Beaure-
gard and his friends do not admit that he
made any such mistakes as are charged
against him. Mr.. Davis, however, is APP
parently of the opinion that victory was
well-nigh won, and that it was forfeited by
Gen. Beauregard. They are now engaged
in a newspaper controversy which is at
tracing some attention.
When the statue of Albert Sidney John
stOn was unveiled at New Orleans on April
q Mr.. Davis delivered a short address He
made statement or two about the battle of
Shiloh which Gen. Beauregard interpreted
as rejecting upon him. Gen Beauregards
name was not mentioned, but that gentle
man was so certain that Mr.. Davis referred
TO him that he published in the New Orleans
PcdW,ne a lengthy communication, pointing
out the part he took III the battle of Shiloh
In this he exonerated himself from the
charge which, he assumed, Mr.. Davis made
against him.
iaOf course Mr.. Davis replied, and it must
be admitted that he made his meaning much
more plain than he did in his remarks on
April &. He explains in his article that his
remarks on that occasion Were unpremedi-
tated, and says that what he said might Just
as well have been understood to refer to
some staff officer as to Gen Beauregard
He says, however, that Gen Beauregard
knew the rightful owner and claimed his
own"
Mr.. Davis states that if Gen. BeauregarCl
did not understand fully his remarks of
April &, he viii aid him by specially stating
that in his "opinion the only mistake of
Gen. Johnston in relation to the battle of
Shiloh was in not personally NAL ing the
order of march from Corinth toward Pitts
burg Landing, for which his large expert
ence in the movement of troops peculiarly
qualified him, instead of intrusting that duty
to Gen. Beamegard, his second III command.
and who had seen comparatively little SER
vice with troops in the field. If in this
way, as appears by contemporaneous state
ments, day was needlessly spent in the
mar h, it was mistake with serious conse-
quences."
1t is probable that Gen. Beauregard will
not drop the controversy, though it does not
appear that there is much to be gained by
continuing it. From present indications the
responsibility for the mistakes that were
made on both sides will never be satisfac-
toiily located

A Southern Memorial Day.

A Florida correspondent, whose commune
cation is published il another column of this
issue, makes a suggestion relative to Ne
mortal day that is well worth considering.
| Ills suggestion is that in all the Southern
States the memory Of the Confederate dead
shall he hoHored, by decorating their graves
with flowers and by other appro-
PIRATE ceremonies, on the same day,
At present Memorial day occurs in one
State at one time and in another State at
another time In this State April 2G is
Memorial day, and it has been made a legal
holiday. In some of the States the
day comes earlier in the season and in others
later. A suggestion comes from Virginia
that May 80 be adopted, but that day is too
late for the Gulf States, where the flowers
cannot be had in such abundance then as
at an earlier date. The writer of the COM
munication suggests May -, The sug-
gestion appears to be free from objection.
Flowers in any quantity can he obtained i'll
Virginia at that time, and also in Louisiana
A great deal will be gained in the way of
interest by having Memorial day came on
the same date in all the Southern States.
At present the day is losing its hold upon
the people. In many localities it is almost
unnOticed. This is not because the people
are becoming Indifferent to the memory of
those who Illustrated Southern courage and
manhood on many hard fought battlefields,
but because of the want of something to
arouse their passive sentiment and make it
show itself not only in decorating the graves
OF the honored dead, but also in rescuing
Confederate cemeteries from the con-
dition of neglect into which they
are falling. If the entire South
engages in memorial services on the same
day that alone will clothe the services
with additional interest. The feeling that
the whole South is performing the same
duty will bring home to the people strong
sense of the debt they owe to their dead
heroes, and they viii not only have more
profound respect for Memorial day, but
they will teach their children to honor it.
The South is growing rich quite rapidly
She has many wealthy men, and the per-
centage of those who are independent is
large. 1t is time, therefore that there was
some general movement looking to the bet
ter care Of Confederate cemeteries. All that
is needed is for a few energetic men to take
the lead in the matter and it will not be
difficult to raise all the money that is needed
If fund for that purpose is started it viii
grow rapidly, not only from generous con-
tributions, but also from gifts for which
wealthy Southerners will make provision in
their wills.
As Georgia is the Empire State of the
South, why would it not be a wise thing for
her Legislature at its approaching session to
do to take into consideration this question
of a general Memorial day, and also that of
the raising fund for the improvement and
protection of Confederate cemeteries9 If
Georgia We're to take hold of these questions
in the right way it is certa that the other
Southern States would soon come to her
assistance

The Governors Augusta Grafton.

Gov Gordon, in his Grafton at Augusta
on Tuesday, called attention to something
that has been in the minds of Southern peo-
pie for a long time, but which has found
very little expression, viz, the danger that
the South's side of the story of the war be-
tween the States will not have the place in
history that it is entitled to. and that the
characteristics for vhich the South has
always been distinguished will be gradually
obliterated.
The North is making most of the school
books and the literature of the country. In
many ways it is impressing its views of the
great civil conflict upon the rising genera
ton. All the leading magazines and the
great majority of the largest newspapers
are published under Northern influences.
While there may be no attempt to create
false impressions, or to impose upon the pub
lie Misrepresentation, it cannot be other
wise than that all that is written at the
North should have a Northern coloring.
Everything is viewed from a Northern
standpoint and bears the impress of North
ern character and ideas.
Under the circumstances, it is not to be
wondered at that thinking Southern mer
are beginning to feel that there is danger
that the South of the period before and in
Guiding the civil war will not have her true
place in history, and that the coming gen
erations Of her own people will not only
have incorrect impressions of that period,
but will also lose their marked Southern
traits
Orations like those of Gov. Gordon at Au-
gusta and Secretary Lamar at Charleston,
and the observance of Memorial day, are
calculated to freshen the memories of the
people and warn them of the influences that
threaten to lead them away from the truth
respecting the customs and institutions of
their section and the purposes of those who
were its representatives.
